Both the comedy and horror rake over old ground in this British splatterfest
This sniggering Brit splatterfest dispatches a minibus of innercity care kids on a team-building exercise to Mortlake, where the cross-eyed locals – gathering in their local, the Dirty Hole (hur hur) after a hard day's livestock-burning – take none too kindly to outsiders. Jo Hartley (Thomas Turgoose's mum in This Is England) catches the shambling, happy-amateur tone as a carer, yet both the comedy and horror rake over old ground. The warped variety show the kids stumble into – with its trouserless organist "Clayderman" and grim forms of 3D entertainment – owes too much to Python, The League of Gentlemen and Channel 4's late-night gem Focus North; co-writer/director Alex Chandon may also be the first person since That's Life!'s Doc Cox to find phallus-shaped carrots so funny.
